“Made in USA” is a phrase particularly significant. This means just what it says at Council Tool – and has, since 1886.

John Pickett Council began making tools for the turpentine harvesting industry in the late 1800s. Mr. Council was a farmer, woodsman and a “producer” of turpentine. A “producer” was one involved with harvesting turpentine for market. He began making tools because he was dissatisfied with the quality of tools available for purchase. Word spread about the value of the tools he handcrafted, and he subsequently found himself selling tools. The business was incorporated in 1886, and it’s been manufacturing hand tools of one type or another ever since.

Council Tool uses only American steel in our forgings, American hickory or fiberglass in our handles, and we use all domestically produced material and supplies. Before we attach the “Made in USA” label, we make sure ours is a quality product in every respect, that it measures up to our standards, and that it is a product that will represent excellent value for the user.

Through the years our product lines have evolved along with changing markets and consumer demand. Today, we offer broad product lines in categories such as axes; striking tools; forged bars for prying, pulling and digging; shrubbing tools; pick mattocks and similar digging tools; woodsplitting tools; and various specialty

hand tools. The company also manufactures a number of tools distributed into firefighting markets and used by firefighters around the world.

While mindful of the need to evolve and change with the times, several things have not changed. We are still a family owned operation. Today, the majority stockholders also help run the operation and are on the plant floor every day. This close association within the company helps maintain our commitment to quality. Our plant associates, who actually make the tools, are second- and third-generation Carolina craftsmen who take pride in their skills and their work. Our company began with one man’s commitment to quality and satisfaction, and that same spirit remains with the company today.

John Pickett Council had a fairly simple set of beliefs that he felt were necessary for success. We continue to operate by them today. Our philosophy is still to make top quality products, to offer good value, and to be innovative in the manufacture of products without sacrificing any integrity. This has guided us very well throughout three centuries, and we believe it’s the direction of our future as well.

Axes The axe is one of the oldest hand tools used by man. Primitive axes were used to cut wood or carve bowls and spears. The modern axe has a variety of uses – from shaping or splitting wood to harvesting timber and felling trees to forcible entry and in emergency situations. In addition to serving as tools, axes can be used for weapons, ceremonial purposes, and status symbols.

In the US, most names associated with axes developed because of geography. Thus, the Michigan or Dayton axe started in a local region and became a popular style. Around 1900 there were over 400 recognized styles or patterns of axes. This was later reduced to less than 30 by the standard chart of axe patterns developed by an early trade association of axe manufacturers.

Tool handle lengths listed are for general reference. For example, a 60P36C refers to a six-pound pickhead axe with 36” curved hickory handle. Since assembly requires at least one trim when handle is inserted into tool head, the overall finished length is always less than listed length. The amount removed varies from tool to tool, and no two wooden handles are exactly alike dimensionally. This is the nature of organic material. Fiberglass handles are assembled differently but could also be slightly shorter than the listed length depending on assembly methodology. Finished tools are therefore shorter in OAL (overall length) than the descriptor. This is accepted industry practice as it is the most logical way to describe product.

Gut Hook Maintenance Keeping a gut hook properly cleaned and sharpened is key to its proper performance when skinning a deer or other game. Wipe the hook with a microfiber cloth dampened with warm soapy water. Remove flesh and debris lodged on the hook with a toothbrush or other small implement. Dry it with a lint-free cloth and apply a thin layer of knife oil to prevent rust. Although it takes a little practice, you can learn to sharpen a gut hook with a round ceramic knife file or a motorized multi-tool with a chain-saw sharpening attachment.

Additional Tool Care Tips

The best way to maintain sharpness is to use a flat file, followed by a whetstone.

Accidents are less likely when using tools that are sharp. Faces on striking tools can also be maintained best with a flat file. Maintain the convex

face and chamfer as it originally appears. Prevent rust by wiping or spraying metal parts with light oil during long periods of

storage. To replace a wooden handle, first clean the eye thoroughly. Fit the new handle with a

rasp or sandpaper. Store the handle overnight in a warm, dry room to ensure dryness. The handle should be driven in tight, and then drive the wood wedge as far as possible. Saw the handle flush with the tool head.

Replace steel wedges as needed. Do not use a tool with a loose or broken handle. Do not use an axe as a wedge. Do not strike a hardened tool with another hardened tool. Be sure that bystanders are in a safe location. This is especially true for children! Always wear safety goggles when using edge and striking tools.

How to Sharpen an Axe We do not recommend an electric high speed grinder to sharpen your axe. This could leave the steel too soft to hold an edge and will ruin your tool. Most people today will not have access to an old-style pedal grindstone, so your options are limited to a flat file and a whetstone. It’s best to use a file with a guard because you will be filing towards the cutting edge. It is also recommended that you wear a pair of heavy gloves.

Clamp the axe to a workbench at a comfortable working height with the cutting edge facing out. File towards the poll (back) of the axe in a fan-shaped motion and maintain the same direction throughout the process. File the edge approximately 2 to 3 inches at the middle point of the axe. Work your way from the cheek down to the actual edge, keeping a rounded profile. Stop filing once you have filed one side so that the burr of metal can be felt on the black side. Turn the axe over, and repeat the process on the other side. The angle of the edge should be about 25 degrees but should be slightly convex.

Now it’s time to hone the edge with a whetstone. The honing process finishes and polishes the edge and removes the burr of metal left from the filing. Honing should always be done immediately after the filing process has been completed.

The last step is to apply a protective coating to the axe head itself. Wipe light machine oil over all the metal on both sides of the axe.

And remember: always use eye protection when using an axe or any other Council Tool product.

Velvicut® Premium Axes Trademarked many years ago, the word Velvicut® evokes a bygone era, a time when an axe was essential for daily chores. When sharpness, edge retention, and the heft of the axe made the day seem shorter – or longer. With Velvicut® axe production, toolmaking expertise gained over a period spanning three centuries is combined with contemporary technology and superlative materials to produce axes for those who simply want the ultimate in an axe.

How to produce the ultimate? Start with 5160 alloy as the steel grade of choice. Velvicut® heads are drop forged at around 2,000º Fahrenheit, after which a punch pierces the still-red hot metal. Forging is a superior process because it produces refined grain flow in the steel. As a result of forging, the grain is continuous throughout the part thereby greatly enhancing strength.

Velvicut® heads are finished with a combination of experience, new technology, and old-fashioned hand-to-eye coordination. In addition to steel grade and head pattern, crucial characteristics of an axe head are proper heat threating and sharpness. Velvicut® heads are shot blasted and then touched by different abrasives. However it is never a goal to remove all forging marks. Therein lies the character. No two Velvicuts® will ever look exactly the same. Each is unique…a thing of beauty.

With each Velvicut® axe, we don’t make a work of art –

we build a tool for the art of work.

“Made in USA” is a phrase that is

particularly meaningful. This means just

what it says at Council Tool. We use only

American steel in our forgings, American

hickory or fiberglass in our handles, and

we use domestic material and supplies.

Before we attach a “Made in USA” label,

we make sure ours is a quality product in

every respect, that it measures up to our

own standards, and that it is a product

that will represent excellent value

for the user.

Assorted Hammers

The use of simple hammers dates to about 2,600,000 BC, when various shaped stones were used to strike wood, bone, or other stones to break them apart and shape them. Stones attached to sticks with strips of leather or animal sinew were being used as hammers with handles by approximately 30,000 BC.

Archeological records show that the hammer – like the axe – is one of the oldest tools with evidence of early existence.

There are numerous types of hammers, and each hammer has various parts. These include the face, head (which can include the bell and neck), eye (like other handled tools, where the handle fits in), cheek (side of the hammer). In addition, some have peens (also known as peins and/or panes) and straps.

The essential part of the hammer is the head, a compact solid mass able to deliver the blow to its intended target without becoming deformed itself. The opposite working end may have a different shape or it may be symmetrical. Council Tool hammers are heat treated after turning, providing a superior tool head.

Ball Pein Hammers

Ball Pein hammers (sometime referred to as Mechanics hammers) are made for striking chisels and punches and for riveting, shaping, and straightening unhardened metal. To be properly used when striking a struck tool, the striking face of the hammer should have a diameter of at least 3/8” larger than the struck face of the tool.

Tool handle lengths listed are for general reference. For example, a 60P36C refers to a six-pound pickhead axe with 36” curved hickory handle. Since assembly requires at least one trim when handle is inserted into tool head, the overall finished length is always less than listed length. The amount removed varies from tool to tool, and no two wooden handles are exactly alike dimensionally. This is the nature of organic material. Fiberglass handles are assembled differently but could also be slightly shorter than the listed length depending on assembly methodology. Finished tools are therefore shorter in OAL (overall length) than the descriptor. This is accepted industry practice as it is the most logical way to describe product.

Soft-Face Sledge Hammers Soft-face sledges are the same as our standard sledges but are not heat treated. These hammers are designed to be used to strike other hardened metals.

Tool handle lengths listed are for general reference. For example, a 60P36C refers to a six-pound pickhead axe with 36” curved hickory handle. Since assembly requires at least one trim when handle is inserted into tool head, the overall finished length is always less than listed length. The amount removed varies from tool to tool, and no two wooden handles are exactly alike dimensionally. This is the nature of organic material. Fiberglass handles are assembled differently but could also be slightly shorter than the listed length depending on assembly methodology. Finished tools are therefore shorter in OAL (overall length) than the descriptor. This is accepted industry practice as it is the most logical way to describe product.

Soft-Face Sledge Hammers Soft-face sledges are the same as our standard sledges but are not heat treated. These hammers are designed to be used to strike other hardened metals.

Additional Tool Care Tips The best way to maintain sharpness is to use a flat file, followed by a whetstone.

Accidents are less likely when using tools that are sharp. Faces on striking tools can also be maintained best with a flat file. Maintain the convex

face and chamfer as it originally appears. Prevent rust by wiping or spraying metal parts with light oil during long periods of

storage. To replace a wooden handle, first clean the eye thoroughly. Fit the new handle with a

rasp or sandpaper. Store the handle overnight in a warm, dry room to ensure dryness. The handle should be driven in tight, and then drive the wood wedge as far as possible. Saw the handle flush with the tool head.

Replace steel wedges as needed. Do not use a tool with a loose or broken handle. Do not use an axe as a wedge. Do not strike a hardened tool with another hardened tool. Be sure that bystanders are in a safe location. This is especially true for children! Always wear safety goggles when using edge and striking tools.

Forged and Rolled Bars

Council Tool forged bars are hot forged from American high quality steel. There are a variety of forged bars manufactured by Council Tool: pinch point, wedge point, wrecking, slate, digging, and tamper.

Council Tool crowbars are rolled from high carbon American-made steel. They are intended for pinching and prying of large objects, such as heavy machinery parts. They are sometimes known as “lining bars,” because of a millwright’s use aligning equipment and machinery. These feature a pinch point or wedge point end opposite a tapered round handle.
